$14 million, dollar requested to get
the program underway. The House,
despite the unceasing efforts of
Congressmen from the
Eastern
North , Carolina districts,
voted
down this amount.
We regret to give up programs
which would mean so much to us,
but there is' a 'great' economy wave
rolling which will cause many good
programs to suffer as well as elim
inating those which are not so wor
thy. If we as a country really
want to cut the 'budget we have
to give up some things. The crux
of the problem is to decide which
things to cut. V
President Late ,
Perhaps you have been follow-

IAU0. 30, MD.
Ing the recent developments of
President , Eisenhower to 'defend
his enormous budget. 1 do not be
lieve his support of his budget has
come in sufficient time to make
any impact on Congress and the
people. You will recall that this
is the Eisenhower budget and that
he backed away from it at the be
ginning long, enough to allow the
whole thing to get out of hand.
As I wrote some week' ago, I feel
that the budget is excessive. I
still do not understand, why the
President sent down the enormous
budget unless he personally felt
that it' was a good budget. :;
: Reverting to my statement that
many good programs suffer when
the economy drive moves reckless-.
ly, I have a further comment and it
is that the country is crying for
economy and the Congress w, cut ,
the Eisenhower budget. To tell the
truth, I have not found many of my
Republican colleagues who are will
irig to defend the White House on
this matter. i
New .Approach Needed
I feel that the entire approach
to federal spending is shabby, j
Perhaps this confusion will serve
to awaken Congress and the people
to the necessity of paying more
attention to the budget proposals
of the White House by creating a
committee to constantly study the
u j ... ' '., .
budget. Suffice it to say that there
are many things; which we dislike
to give up when Uncle Sam is pay
ing the bill, but, Uncle Sam is all
of us, and I fear that we may
break our collective backs' by tax
burdens unless rather drastic meas
ures are taken.' iv;'v ;

Corn Diseases Are
Costing You Money
Corn is one of the most import
ant grain crops in North Carolina.
Each year corn production poten
tial in the, State is reduced dire to
the effects of disease. ;
There are a number of diseases
that attack corn, and in some in
dividual fields losses are often as
high as 10 per cent.;
Diseases lower the value and
quality of the grain and may in
crease harvesting costB when af
fected plants lodge. All parts of
the plant may be attacked the
ears, leaves, stalks and roots at
various stages of development.
. Com ear, leaf and stalk diseases
generally are favored by waring wet
weather. ; Seedling diseases arc
more severe in ool , wet ' weather
following planting. ' Pythium root
rot Is generally more severe in wet
than in dry soils. ; Symptoms of
nematode damage are mort pro
nounced in dry, sandy soils.
. There are no ' completely effec
tive measures for controlling corn
diseases; however, losses can be
minimized ,byf;. following I certain
recommended practices. The grow
"t should become acquainted with
disease problems and factors af
fecting their seyerity.
. The results, of some o the latest
research, on corn diseases and their
control has been published by the
North Carolina Agricultural Ex
tension. Service af State College.

Wheat Vote Will T
Affect Price Level
iThe outcome of the, Wheat Mar
keting Quota Referendum on June
20 will affect the price-support lev
el 'and determine whether market
ing quotas will be in effect for the
1968 crop of wheat. Helene W. Nix
on,,. Perquimans County ASC 6ffjoa
Manager, said today.. , .
, If , two-thirds vote . yes , the
support for the. 1968 crop will' be
set at 75 per 'cenf of parity p
nroximately $1.98 a bushel in this
state. If more than one-third Vote
the support will drop t.d 60
per cent of parity In any ' ea'sei
support will be: available only ' to
those farmers ' who stay within
their farm's wheat acreage allot
ment. v;;V-!; '-') '-''-:i-r-
Another point which wheaC grow
ers should have in mind when they
cast their ballot is that if the vote
is favorable, marketing quotas will
be in effect and those who exceed
the far m acreage allotment will JEk
subject to a marketing penalty of
45 per" cent of parity on their ex
cess wheat. If the vote is unfav
orable, marketing quotas will not
be. jn effect' and there will be no
penalty for excess wheat. . . ;
Acreage allotments will be in ef
fect for price support and soil
bank purposes 'even if marketing
quotas are disapproved. v
The Marketing Quota Program
applies only to wheat-growers in
North Carolina who will have more
than1 15 acres of wheat on any
farm in 1958. Only those grow
ers who will . have more than 15
acres of wheat for" grain 'in 1056
will be eligible to vote." ' ' '
